About me:

LAAFF'n in Asheville...

Thank you to everyone who helps support LAAFF and Arts 2 People throughout the year!

The Lexington Ave. Arts and Fun Festival (LAAFF) is an all local, all original music and arts festival in downtown Asheville, NC brought to you by Arts 2 People. LAAFF is in its 8th year and annually brings the amazing and diverse talents of WNC to downtown Asheville and attracts about 10,000 attendees to take part in the Arts for a fabulous freaky day.

LAAFF is a FREE and truly unique ALL LOCAL ~ ALL ORIGINAL music and arts event where the creative can strut their stuff and the rest of us can... (read more) Mission:
Arts 2 People’s Mission: Empowerment Through the Arts

1. We believe everyone should have access to the transformational power of creative expression. We offer classes to the general public on a sliding scale, and provide arts-in-education opportunities to underprivileged populations.

2. We see a need for local career artists, musicians and craftspeople to learn more about marketing themselves and networking with others in their field. We offer a variety of showcasing, networking, and mentoring opportunities for these professionals to increase their ability to be financially self-sufficient.

3. Lastly, we are committed to strengthening the reputation Asheville has as a haven for the arts. We want to make the arts so firmly established here that the future growth of Asheville will not weaken our identity as an artistic community.
